Who are model coaching sessions for?
I work with people passionate about modelling, folks interested in learning more about the trade, those looking to build up their portfolio and all of the above. Whether you’re looking more at agencies or just want to collaborate and freelance, a bit of guidance with a set of killer digitals can be invaluable to jumpstarting your creative journey.
I am not here to ask anyone to change their authentic self or alter their presentation. I will absolutely be honest about the realities of the industry and help you be a professional, but ultimately we are here to show up, own our representation and bring our visions to life. Modelling can be such a vulnerable and intimate art; everyone deserves to feel safe and secure in their self-expression.
Can you get me signed to an agency?
I cannot guarantee any work, agency placements, or connections. I’m here to share the experience and knowledge I’ve built up over the past five years working as a model and photographer, and help guide your personal modelling path in the direction you want to take it.
What are digitals?
Digitals are meant to showcase your most natural self. These are well lit and usually unedited pictures of yourself in little makeup, wearing form fitting and comfortable black pants/blue jeans with a neutral tank top.
Do you travel for coaching sessions?
Yes! I am based in Vancouver, Washington and frequently work in Portland, Oregon. I’m happy to travel nearly anywhere and we can negotiate an appropriate travel fee in advance.
